In a F2F discussion we agreed to pay more attention to test failures on the Apache Jenkins instance and make an effort to turn it green:
- tests that are constantly failing and also fail on a local checkout should be marked @Ignored along with an issue reference and an bug report in Jira.
- tests that only fail on Jenkins should be marked as such through the CIHelpers facility
In the meanwhile I tried to configure the Jenkins Jira plugin so it would automatically file Jira issues for failures. This didn't seem to successful as the last failing build didn't show up in the Oak Jira. There is no indications of anything going wrong in the build logs neither though. Anyone who wants to take this up, be my guest.

Hi, I'm losing my patience with the Apache Jenkins instance. Again our Job is not working properly since a week. I'm spending roughly 2 hours a week trouble shooting stuff and this does neither include actual test failures nor the Windows instance that never actually worked. This is going on for too long now and I don't see some real progress. I would suggest we start looking for other options. Michael
